It was mentioned on here that Zimmermann rotors were thought to be NLA for at least one side for the RS6. When I looked (outside the UK) I didn't seem to have any issues finding suppliers.

https://www.qp24.de/en/zimmermann-brake ... 9-70/99539 Best Price, wouldn't ship to Australia
https://www.sparesbox.com.au/parts/brak ... Zimmermann Found these only after ordering from the US. Cheaper for me once freight and taxes added to the US price.
https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/audi-b ... 615602akt2 Bought from these, no issues other than near getting a hernia picking up the box and received

Here are three sources that seem to have no problems with stock. I didn't include any UK sites as you'll know more about them than I would. Seemed to be plenty more but their prices were rather well padded.

I got some from autodoc a few months back. Pretty good service from them and used them before for other parts

Yeah, I like autodoc. Just have to be patient.

The other day I ordered some wiper blades at ECP at 8:45am and they turned up at 10:18am. :shock: Autodoc you’ll wait a week.

Last time I looked they were like 1k per corner. That is crazy.
There is a local casting company near me. And I know plenty of machining companies.
I almost feel like trying to do something about making them.

You could make the hats and buy standard rotors.
